AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION- Sign up for this month’s APA Member Webinar: Professional Skills for a Successful Career.

 

Dear DAVID,   There are myriad career opportunities available to philosophers, both within and beyond academia. Because many current philosophy graduate students and recent PhDs are interested in pursuing a variety of careers, the APA's Committee on Non-Academic Careers has organized a webinar for members: Professional Skills for a Successful Career: An Introduction to “Crossover” Skills.     This webinar will address the “crossover” skills essential to any successful career—skills such as teamwork, leadership, project management, non-academic writing, proposal drafting, and marketing. Despite their importance, professionalization courses in graduate programs often fail to address these sorts of skills, and many academics are weak in these areas. The presenters will discuss a proposed syllabus for a course covering crossover skills. After introducing the syllabus, the panelists will solicit input from the audience about the crossover skills discussed, other potential skills that might merit discussion, and the resources available for presenting professionalization course materials. Graduate students, early career academics and graduate directors will benefit from this presentation and discussion, and the Committee on Non-Academic Careers will benefit from the feedback they receive.   The panelists for the webinar are Sherri Lynn Conklin, Shane Wilkins, and Martin Willard, all members of the APA Committee on Non-Academic Careers.     The webinar will be held on Wednesday, July 21 at 4 p.m. Eastern time / 1 p.m. Pacific time. To participate, register on the APA website. Registration will be available until 10 a.m. Eastern time / 7 a.m. Pacific time on the day of the webinar, and access information will be provided to registrants at least one hour prior to the start of the webinar. Registration is limited to current APA members.   Register now.   Space is limited, so register now! If you’re unable to attend the live webinar, a recording will be made available to APA members afterward.   All the best,   Amy Ferrer Executive Director
